Plum and berry aromas with a meaty and decadent undertone. Full-bodied with round, soft tannins and lots of rich flavors at the end. Plums and light milk chocolate. Hint of balsamic. Drink now or hold.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Laborum Single Vineyard Rio Seco comes from Finca Río Seco, Cafayate and was raisec for 12 months in 70% French and 30% American barrels of various ages. Ruby red in the glass, the initial aromas are oak followed by orange peel and blackcurrant (and without a hint of pyrazines), with good ripeness. Refined in the mouth, the bold flavor is supported by the aging which brings hints of caramel and blackcurrant at the back of the mouth. Open, long-lasting and expressive, this is a tasty Cab in the Californian tradition.
